As an intensely practical religion, Buddhism has concentrated on
devising a great number of meditations. In recent years
psychologists have shown great interest in the therapeutic value of
these meditations, but accurate information about them has been
hard to come by. The most outstanding original documents have now
been made accessible by Edward Conze, who translated them from
Pali, Sanskrit and Tibetan. The volume, originally published in
1956, also deals with the meaning of Buddhist meditation, and the
relation of its methods and presuppositions to modern
psychology.
Originally published in 1962.
This book discusses and interprets the main themes of Buddhist
thought in India and is divided into three parts:
- Archaic Buddhism: Tacit assumptions, the problem of "original
Buddhism," the three marks and the perverted views, the five
cardinal virtues, the cultivation of the social emotions, Dharma
and dharmas, Skandhas, sense-fields and elements.
- The Sthaviras: the eighteen schools, doctrinal disputes, the
unconditioned and the process of salvation, some Abhidharma
problems.
- The Mahayana: doctrines common to all Mahayanists, the
Madhyamikas, the Yogacarins, Buddhist logic, the Tantras.

The Perfection of Wisdom Sutras, The Prajnaparamita, is a
collection of about forty texts. They were composed in India
between approximately 100 BC and AD 600. Those contained within
this volume are among the shorter ones; they are also some of the
most well known such as The Heart Sutra and The Diamond Sutra.The
Prajnaparamita texts are central to the Mahayana, the Great Vehicle
tradition of Buddhism which today includes the Zen and Tibetan
traditions. They are a magnificent work which offer guidance to
those who wish to plumb the depths of their own mind and come face
to face with the reality of existence by realising the truth of the
Buddha's deep teachings on Emptiness and Great Wisdom.Dr Edward
Conze (1904-1979) was the author of many books and the translator
of much of the Prajnaparamita texts. He served on the faculties of
several universities in Britain and the United States inlcuding
Oxford, London, and California. Not only was he a great Buddhist
scholar but also a serious practitioner, and his translations are
very highly regarded.
